PAWSOME WRITER Name: Alice Heroic feat: Winning Equal 1st in the 2022 RSPCA Pawsome Stories – Non-Fiction Years 3/4 Category! Alice’s essay ‘How Our Pets Were Lockdown Lifesavers’ was selected from 144 entries! FAST THREE WITH ALICE K-Z : Hi Alice! Why did you choose this topic for the RSPCA Pawsome Stories competition? A: I usually write fiction stories so I thought that it would be good to change it up and do a non-fiction piece. I had experience of having my own pet during lockdown, so I really understood what I was writing about. It took two weeks to write, and one week to reflect and edit. Writing is one of my favourite things to do, but I learned a lot about editing. Winning gave me a confidence boost,…

THE FLASH Barry Allen, AKA The Flash, is famous for moving at superhuman speeds using the Speed Force! When he isn’t racing through the streets (and working as a member of the Justice League), Barry is a forensic investigator. After attempting time travel to save his mother’s life, Barry is trapped in an alternate reality without metahumans. There’s also a younger version of Barry in this timeline! SUPERGIRL Kara Zor-El is a Kryptonian with super strength, flight, heat vision, and more. Supergirl was captured and subjected to painful experiments in a Siberian prison for most of her life. As Earth’s sunlight grants the Kryptonian her powers, she has also been kept in the dark. Kara has experienced a very different life to the Superman in Barry’s universe. BATMAN The Caped…

WHAT’S AN EXOPLANET? Any planet that revolves around a star that isn’t the Sun. KEPLER-16b (AKA Tatooine) Kepler-16b orbits two stars, which means it has two sunsets – like Tatooine in Star Wars! Both are known as circumbinary planets, but that’s where the similarities end. Kepler-16b is pretty chilly, while Luke Skywalker’s home world is a steaming hot desert. WASP-121b (AKA the one that looks like a football) If you’re too close to your star, you risk being pulled apart by its gravity – or shaped like a football. Thanks a lot, gravitational tidal forces! OGLE-2005-BLG-390L b (AKA the coldest exoplanet discovered) Most exoplanets are super hot, but this one dared to be different, with an average temp of -223 egrees Celsius. Antarctica is like a summer holiday in comparison…

I HAVE LOVED PLAYING FOOTY… For as long as I can remember! I started out through the NAB AFL Auskick program when I was around six years old. While there was no AFLW/professional league, from a very young age I knew I wanted to play at the highest level possible. I loved to kick the footy in the backyard pretending I was on the MCG! AS THE RICHMOND AFLW CAPTAIN… I strive to do my best. It is a great honour and responsibility to be the first captain of the Richmond Football Club’s AFLW side, and I honestly just love to go out there and have lots of fun with my teammates. GOING INTO SEASON 8… We want to keep growing our game and love to play everyone. However, you…

SPOILER ALERT Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 spoilers ahead! BUILDING KNOWHERE After the Blip, the Guardians rebuilt Knowhere (a former Celestial skull turned vessel) to be Guardians HQ – and a mobile city. Building the Knowhere set took a lot of work. By the end, it was like a small town, with 20 separate buildings covering over 3716 square metres at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, USA! The set was built on Trilith’s largest stage and took over six months. The buildings were created from mouldable foam, which hardened with a special coating. Places have an aged look, which was achieved by using a Japanese fire glaze method called 'Raku' technique. Cool! DID YOU NOTICE? At the start of the film, the Guardians are hanging up a sign in…

K-Z: Hi Ava Louise! What was your favourite episode to film for Jane? A: My top two favourites are the flying fox and the shark! I loved running around the grocery store and doing the action scenes for the shark episode. For the flying fox, filming with a drone was cool and fun. This bat can only be found in the Philippines (where my mom is originally from), and I got to interview a bat expert from there, so it felt like I reconnected with my roots. K-Z: Your character, Jane, is inspired by a quote from Dr Jane Goodall. Has your life ever been impacted by a quote? A: I drew Dr. Jane Goodall with Greybeard, and showed her the picture on set. She signed it and wrote 'Follow…

My hand got caught in the seat, and I still have a mark on my wrist! Charlie, NZ SO UNLUCKY! NATURE STUMBLE I was running with my friends and slipped on a pine cone!

SPOILER ALERT Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 spoilers ahead! ONE MORE DANCE It wouldn’t be a proper send off for the OG Guardians of the Galaxy if we didn’t get another iconic dance scene with Groot. At the end of the movie, the song ‘Dog Days Are Over’ plays over the speakers on Knowhere, and Groot starts to groove. It doesn't take long for Rocket to join him, followed by Kraglin, Nebula, and even Drax. It’s a beautiful moment that totally slayed our feels – in a good way! Rating: WE SPEAK GROOT Through MCU history, we have been hearing Groot say 'I am Groot'. Turns out, you have to earn Groot’s trust before you can understand what he means. At the end of Vol. 3, you can hear…

I’m a foodie and totally dig that Firetown has a lot of cooking-related architecture – there are buildings and carts that are shaped like pots, ovens and BBQs. The area was originally part of the Earth district, so Firetown feels chaotic. It has the family-owned shop that locals love – Fireplace, where Ember works with her dad! I would definitely love to live somewhere in the Earth district, with all the terraces and vegetation. Some of the buildings are even shaped like giant pine trees! Citizens in the Earth area seem like a really fun bunch, and I would like to have a cactus on my head – or beautiful leaves sprouting instead of hair. Bring it on! The Water district of Element City is pretty cool! As the first…

OPTIONS Each of the hero packs has a different filling, and stretches up to three times larger. So many textures! LET’S GOO, IRON MAN The Invincible Iron Man is super gooey, with a blue metallic goo filling. The fun blue colour reminds us of Iron Man’s repulsor blasts. Tony Stark would be proud! Iron Man was first seen in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963)! The Invincible Iron Man‘s first comic was published May 1, 1968! CRUNCH WITH THE HULK The Incredible Hulk is one hero you don’t want to mess with! In this range, he’s crunchy with a green bead filling. Squeezing him is a fun (and satisfying) way to unleash his rage! The Hulk appeared in his comic, The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962)! The orig Hulk was…

BRENTON E MCKENNA Brenton is a Yawuru man from Broome, WA, and is also known by his middle name, ‘ESZRA’. As a kid, his love for comics started when he picked up Ghost Rider. Brenton eventually studied visual arts at Goulburn Ovens TAFE in Wangarratta, Victoria. In 2011, he became the first published Indigenous graphic novel author in Australia when he released Ubby’s Underdogs: The Legend of Phoenix Dragon! The book was the first in the Ubby’s Underdogs trilogy. When Brenton isn’t drawing, he also holds creative storytelling workshops. Now, Brenton has released the new graphic novel, Hairy Holes. The story is about two Hairy Holers named Begley and Redley, who are living ordinary lives in the bush until a lost tourist introduces them to the Internet. LOL! It’s an…

AURORA AUSTRALIS Aurora australis is the southern hemisphere version of aurora borealis! Known as ‘the southern lights’, the phenomenon appears like a sheet of light or a glow, with the strongest point as an oval centered on the south magnetic pole. The light usually appears as a green curtain, but can sometimes be red, and a few other colours on rare occasions. The best place to see aurora australis is Antarctica, but it can also be seen in southern Australia (particularly Tasmania), New Zealand, southern Chile, Argentina, and sometimes South Africa. PENITENTE These snow formations are found at high altitudes, and grow over glaciated and snow-covered areas in the Dry Andes (above 4000 metres)! These strange spires are closely spaced blades of hardened snow or ice, pointing towards the direction…
